Jeremiah 1

 1. The words <1697 dabar > of Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the son

<1121 ben > of Hilkiah <2518 Chilqiyah >, of the priests <3548

kohen

> that [were] in Anathoth <6068 <Anathowth > in the land <0776

>erets > of Benjamin <1144 Binyamiyn >:

 2 To whom <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > in the days <3117 yowm > of Josiah

<2977 Yo>shiyah > the son <1121 ben > of Amon <0526 >Amown > king

<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, in the thirteenth year

<8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak >.

 3 It came <1961 hayah > also in the days <3117 yowm > of

Jehoiakim

<3079 Y@howyaqiym > the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977

Yo>shiyah >

king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, unto the end <8537

tom

> of the eleventh year <8141 shaneh > of Zedekiah <6667

Tsidqiyah >

the son <1121 ben > of Josiah <2977 Yo>shiyah > king <4428 melek

>

of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, unto the carrying <1540 galah > away

of

Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > captive <1540 galah > in the fifth

<2549 chamiyshiy > month <2320 chodesh >.

 4. Then the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >,

 5 Before <2962 terem > I formed <3335 yatsar > thee in the belly

<0990 beten > I knew <3045 yada< > thee; and before <2962 terem >

thou camest <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the womb

<7358 rechem > I sanctified <6942 qadash > thee, [and] I ordained

<5414 nathan > thee a prophet <5030 nabiy> > unto the nations

<1471

gowy >.

 6 Then said <0559 >amar > I, Ah <0162 >ahahh >, Lord <0136

>Adonay

> GOD <3069 Y@hovih >! behold <2009 hinneh >, I cannot <3808 lo>

>

speak <1696 dabar >: for I [am] a child <5288 na<ar >.

 7 But the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Say

<0559 >amar > not, I [am] a child <5288 na<ar >: for thou shalt

go

<3212 yalak > to all <3605 kol > that I shall send <7971 shalach

>

thee, and whatsoever I command <6680 tsavah > thee thou shalt

speak

<1696 dabar >.

 8 Be not afraid <3372 yare> > of their faces <6440 paniym >:

for I

[am] with thee to deliver <5337 natsal > thee, saith <5002 n@>um

>

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

 9 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > put <7971 shalach > forth <7971

shalach > his hand <3027 yad >, and touched <5060 naga< > my

mouth

<6310 peh >. And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto

me, Behold <2009 hinneh >, I have put <5414 nathan > my words

<1697

dabar > in thy mouth <6310 peh >.

 10 See <7200 ra>ah >, I have this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm >

set

<6485 paqad > thee over <5921 <al > the nations <1471 gowy > and

over <5921 <al > the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah >, to root <5428

nathash > out, and to pull <5422 nathats > down, and to destroy

<6>,

and to throw <2040 harac > down <2040 harac >, to build <1129

banah

>, and to plant <5193 nata< >.

 11. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

came <1961 hayah > unto me, saying <0559 >amar >, Jeremiah <3414

Yirm@yah >, what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I said

<0559 >amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a rod <4731 maqqel > of an

almond

<8247 shaqed > tree.

 12 Then said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me,

Thou

hast well <3190 yatab > seen <7200 ra>ah >: for I will hasten

<8245

shaqad > my word <1697 dabar > to perform <6213 <asah > it.

 13 And the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came

<1961 hayah > unto me the second <8145 sheniy > time, saying

<0559

>amar >, What <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I said

<0559

>amar >, I see <7200 ra>ah > a seething <5301 naphach > pot <5518

ciyr >; and the face <6440 paniym > thereof [is] toward <6440

paniym

> the north <6828 tsaphown >.

 14 Then the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me,

Out of

the north <6828 tsaphown > an evil <7451 ra< > shall break <6605

pathach > forth upon all <3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427

yashab >

of the land <0776 >erets >.

 15 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will call <7121 qara> > all <3605

kol

> the families <4940 mishpachah > of the kingdoms <4467 mamlakah

>

of the north <6828 tsaphown >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah >; and they shall come <0935 bow> >, and they shall set

<5414 nathan > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his throne

<3678 kicce> > at the entering <6607 pethach > of the gates <8179

sha<ar > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and against <5921

<al >

all <3605 kol > the walls <2346 chowmah > thereof round <5439

cabiyb

> about, and against <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the cities <5892

<iyr > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >.

 16 And I will utter <1696 dabar > my judgments <4941 mishpat >

against <5921 <al > them touching <5921 <al > all <3605 kol >

their

wickedness <7451 ra< >, who have forsaken <5800 <azab > me, and

have

burned <6999 qatar > incense <6999 qatar > unto other <0312

>acher >

gods <0430 >elohiym >, and worshipped <7812 shachah > the works

<4639 ma<aseh > of their own <0249 >ezrach > hands <3027 yad >.

 17 Thou therefore gird <2296 chagar > up thy loins <4975 mothen

>,

and arise <6965 quwm >, and speak <1696 dabar > unto them all

<3605

kol > that I command <6680 tsavah > thee: be not dismayed <2865

chathath > at their faces <6440 paniym >, lest <6435 pen > I

confound <2865 chathath > thee before <6440 paniym > them.

 18 For, behold <2009 hinneh >, I have made <5414 nathan > thee

this

day <3117 yowm > a defenced <4013 mibtsar > city <5892 <iyr >,

and

an iron <1270 barzel > pillar <5982 <ammuwd >, and brasen <5178

n@chosheth > walls <2346 chowmah > against <5921 <al > the whole

<3605 kol > land <0776 >erets >, against the kings <4428 melek >

of

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, against the princes <8269 sar > thereof,

against the priests <3548 kohen > thereof, and against the people

<5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets >.

 19 And they shall fight <3898 lacham > against <0413 >el > thee;

but they shall not prevail <3201 yakol > against thee; for I [am]

with thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to

deliver

<5337 natsal > thee.

Jeremiah 2

 1. Moreover the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

came

<1961 hayah > to me, saying <0559 >amar >,

 2 Go <1980 halak > and cry <7121 qara> > in the ears <0241

>ozen >

of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, saying <0559 >amar >, Thus

<3541

koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; I remember

<2142

zakar > thee, the kindness <2617 checed > of thy youth <5271

na<uwr

>, the love <0160 >ahabah > of thine espousals <3623 k@luwlah >,

when thou wentest <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > me in the

wilderness <4057 midbar >, in a land <0776 >erets > [that was]

not

sown <2232 zara< >.

 3 Israel <3478 Yisra>el > [was] holiness <6944 qodesh > unto the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] the firstfruits <7225 re>shiyth > of

his

increase <8393 t@buw>ah >: all <3605 kol > that devour <0398

>akal >

him shall offend <0816 >asham >; evil <7451 ra< > shall come

<0935

bow> > upon them, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

 4 Hear <8085 shama< > ye the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD

<3068

Y@hovah >, O house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, and

all

<3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the house <1004

bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >:

 5 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

What <4100 mah > iniquity <5766 <evel > have your fathers <1>

found

<4672 matsa> > in me, that they are gone far <7368 rachaq > from

me,

and have walked <3212 yalak > after <0310 >achar > vanity <1892

hebel >, and are become <1891 habal > vain <1891 habal >?

 6 Neither <3808 lo> > said <0559 >amar > they, Where <0346

>ayeh >

[is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > that brought <5927 <alah > us up

out

of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, that led

<3212 yalak > us through the wilderness <4057 midbar >, through a

land <0776 >erets > of deserts <6160 <arabah > and of pits <7745

shuwchah >, through a land <0776 >erets > of drought <6723

tsiyah >,

and of the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth >,

through a land <0776 >erets > that no <3808 lo> > man <0376

>iysh >

passed <5674 <abar > through, and where <8033 sham > no <3808

lo> >

man <0120 >adam > dwelt <3427 yashab >?

 7 And I brought <0935 bow> > you into <0413 >el > a plentiful

<3759

karmel > country <0776 >erets >, to eat <0398 >akal > the fruit

<6529 p@riy > thereof and the goodness <2898 tuwb > thereof; but

when ye entered <0935 bow> >, ye defiled <2930 tame> > my land

<0776

>erets >, and made <7760 suwm > mine heritage <5159 nachalah > an

abomination <8441 tow<ebah >.

 8 The priests <3548 kohen > said <0559 >amar > not, Where <0346

>ayeh > [is] the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >? and they that handle <8610

taphas > the law <8451 towrah > knew <3045 yada< > me not: the

pastors <7462 ra<ah > also transgressed <6586 pasha< > against

me,

and the prophets <5030 nabiy> > prophesied <5012 naba> > by Baal

<1168 Ba<al >, and walked <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar >

[things

that] do not profit <3276 ya<al >.

 9. Wherefore <3651 ken > I will yet <5750 <owd > plead <7378

riyb >

with you, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and with

your children's <1121 ben > children <1121 ben > will I plead

<7378

riyb >.

 10 For pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > the isles <0339

>iy >

of Chittim <3794 Kittiy >, and see <7200 ra>ah >; and send <7971

shalach > unto Kedar <6938 Qedar >, and consider <0995 biyn >

diligently <3966 m@<od >, and see <7200 ra>ah > if there be such

<2063 zo>th > a thing.

 11 Hath a nation <1471 gowy > changed <4171 muwr > [their] gods

<0430 >elohiym >, which <1992 hem > [are] yet no <3808 lo> > gods

<0430 >elohiym >? but my people <5971 <am > have changed <4171

muwr

> their glory <3519 kabowd > for [that which <1992 hem >] doth

not

profit <3276 ya<al >.

 12 Be astonished <8074 shamem >, O ye heavens <8064 shamayim >,

at

<5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th >, and be horribly <8175 sa<ar >

afraid

<8175 sa<ar >, be ye very <3966 m@<od > desolate <2717 charab >,

saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

 13 For my people <5971 <am > have committed <6213 <asah > two

<8147

sh@nayim > evils <7451 ra< >; they have forsaken <5800 <azab > me

the fountain <4726 maqowr > of living <2416 chay > waters <4325

mayim >, [and] hewed <2672 chatsab > them out cisterns <0877

bo>r >,

broken <7665 shabar > cisterns <0877 bo>r >, that can hold <3557

kuwl > no <3808 lo> > water <4325 mayim >.

 14. [Is] Israel <3478 Yisra>el > a servant <5650 <ebed >? [is]

he a

homeborn <1004 bayith > [slave]? why <4069 madduwa< > is he

spoiled

<0957 baz >?

 15 The young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > roared <7580

sha>ag > upon him, [and] yelled, and they made <7896 shiyth > his

land <0776 >erets > waste <8047 shammah >: his cities <5892 <iyr

>

are burned <3341 yatsath > without <1097 b@liy > inhabitant <3427

yashab >.

 16 Also <1571 gam > the children <1121 ben > of Noph <5297 Noph

>

and Tahapanes <8471 Tachpanchec > have broken <7462 ra<ah > the

crown <6936 qodqod > of thy head <6936 qodqod >.

 17 Hast thou not procured <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto

thyself, in that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, when <6256 <eth > he led

<3212

yalak > thee by the way <1870 derek >?

 18 And now <6258 <attah > what <4100 mah > hast thou to do in

the

way <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, to drink <8354

shathah

> the waters <4325 mayim > of Sihor <7883 Shiychowr >? or what

<4100

mah > hast thou to do in the way <1870 derek > of Assyria <0804

>Ashshuwr >, to drink <8354 shathah > the waters <4325 mayim > of

the river <5104 nahar >?

 19 Thine own wickedness <7451 ra< > shall correct <3256 yacar >

thee, and thy backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > shall reprove <3198

yakach > thee: know <3045 yada< > therefore and see <7200 ra>ah >

that [it is] an evil <7451 ra< > [thing] and bitter <4751 mar >,

that thou hast forsaken <5800 <azab > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

thy

God <0430 >elohiym >, and that my fear <6345 pachdah > [is] not

in

thee, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069

Y@hovih

> of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.

 20. For of old <5769 <owlam > time I have broken <7665 shabar >

thy

yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq > thy bands <4147

mowcer

>; and thou saidst <0559 >amar >, I will not transgress <5647

<abad

>; when <3588 kiy > upon every <3605 kol > high <1364 gaboahh >

hill

<1389 gib<ah > and under <8478 tachath > every <3605 kol > green

<7488 ra<anan > tree <6086 <ets > thou wanderest <6808 tsa<ah >,

playing the harlot <2181 zanah >.

 21 Yet I had planted <5193 nata< > thee a noble vine <8321

soreq >,

wholly <3605 kol > a right <0571 >emeth > seed <2233 zera< >: how

<0349 >eyk > then art thou turned <2015 haphak > into the

degenerate

<5494 cuwr > plant of a strange <5237 nokriy > vine <1612 gephen

>

unto me?

 22 For though <0518 >im > thou wash <3526 kabac > thee with

nitre

<5427 nether >, and take thee much <7235 rabah > soap <1287

boriyth

>, [yet] thine iniquity <5771 <avon > is marked <3799 katham >

before <6440 paniym > me, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136

>Adonay

> GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.

 23 How <0349 >eyk > canst thou say <0559 >amar >, I am not

polluted

<2930 tame> >, I have not gone <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar >

Baalim <1168 Ba<al >? see <7200 ra>ah > thy way <1870 derek > in

the

valley <1516 gay> >, know <3045 yada< > what <4100 mah > thou

hast

done <6213 <asah >: [thou art] a swift <7031  qal > dromedary

<1072

bikrah > traversing <8308 sarak > her ways <1870 derek >;

 24 A wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > used <3928 limmuwd >

to

the wilderness <4057 midbar >, [that] snuffeth <7602 sha>aph > up

the wind <7307 ruwach > at her pleasure; in her occasion <8385

ta>anah > who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > her away? all

<3605

kol > they that seek <1245 baqash > her will not weary <3286

ya<aph

matsa> > her.

 25 Withhold <4513 mana< > thy foot <7272 regel > from being

unshod

<3182 yacheph >, and thy throat <1627 garown > from thirst <6773

tsim>ah >: but thou saidst <0559 >amar >, There is no hope <2976

ya>ash >: no <3808 lo> >; for I have loved <0157 >ahab >

strangers

<2114 zuwr >, and after <0310 >achar > them will I go <3212

yalak >.

 26 As the thief <1590 gannab > is ashamed <1322 bosheth > when

<3588 kiy > he is found <4672 matsa> >, so <3651 ken > is the

house

<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ashamed <0954 buwsh >;

they, their kings <4428 melek >, their princes <8269 sar >, and

their priests <3548 kohen >, and their prophets <5030 nabiy> >,

 27 Saying <0559 >amar > to a stock <6086 <ets >, Thou [art] my

father <1>; and to a stone <68>, Thou hast brought <3205 yalad >

me

forth <3205 yalad >: for they have turned <6437 panah > [their]

back

<6203 <oreph > unto me, and not [their] face <6440 paniym >: but

in

the time <6256 <eth > of their trouble <7451 ra< > they will say

<0559 >amar >, Arise <6965 quwm >, and save <3467 yasha< > us.

 28 But where <0346 >ayeh > [are] thy gods <0430 >elohiym > that

thou hast made <6213 <asah > thee? let them arise <6965 quwm >,

if

they can save <3467 yasha< > thee in the time <6256 <eth > of thy

trouble <7451 ra< >: for [according to] the number <4557 micpar

> of

thy cities <5892 <iyr > are thy gods <0430 >elohiym >, O Judah

<3063

Y@huwdah >.

 29. Wherefore <4100 mah > will ye plead <7378 riyb > with me? ye

all <3605 kol > have transgressed <6586 pasha< > against me,

saith

<5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.

 30 In vain <7723 shav> > have I smitten <5221 nakah > your

children

<1121 ben >; they received <3947 laqach > no <3808 lo> >

correction

<4148 muwcar >: your own sword <2719 chereb > hath devoured <0398

>akal > your prophets <5030 nabiy> >, like a destroying <7843

shachath > lion <0738 >ariy >.

 31 O generation <1755 dowr >, see <7200 ra>ah > ye the word

<1697

dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Have I been <1961 hayah > a

wilderness <4057 midbar > unto Israel <3478 Yisra>el >? a land

<0776

>erets > of darkness <3991 ma>phel@yah >? wherefore <4069

madduwa< >

say <0559 >amar > my people <5971 <am >, We are lords <7300 ruwd

we will come <0935 bow> > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > unto

thee?

 32 Can a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > forget <7911 shakach > her

ornaments <5716 <adiy >, [or] a bride <3618 kallah > her attire

<7196 qishshur >? yet my people <5971 <am > have forgotten <7911

shakach > me days <3117 yowm > without <0369 >ayin > number <4557

micpar >.

 33 Why <4100 mah > trimmest <3190 yatab > thou thy way <1870

derek

> to seek <1245 baqash > love <0160 >ahabah >? therefore <3651

ken >

hast thou also <1571 gam > taught <3925 lamad > the wicked <7451

ra<

 34 Also <1571 gam > in thy skirts <3671 kanaph > is found <4672

matsa> > the blood <1818 dam > of the souls <5315 nephesh > of

the

poor <34> innocents <5355 naqiy >: I have not found <4672 matsa>

it by secret <5643 cether > search <4290 machtereth >, but upon

all

<3605 kol > these <0428 >el-leh >.

 35 Yet thou sayest <0559 >amar >, Because <3588 kiy > I am

innocent

<5352 naqah >, surely <0389 >ak > his anger <0639 >aph > shall

Jeremiah 3

 1. They say <0559 >amar >, If a man <0376 >iysh > put <7971

shall he return <7725 shuwb > unto her again <5750 <owd >? shall

not

that land <0776 >erets > be greatly polluted <2610 chaneph >? but

thou hast played the harlot <2181 zanah > with many <7227 rab >

lovers <7453 rea< >; yet return <7725 shuwb > again to me, saith

 3 Therefore the showers <7241 rabiyb > have been withholden

 4 Wilt thou not from this time <6258 <attah > cry <7121 qara> >

hinneh

 6. The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > also unto me in

 9 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass through the lightness <6963

no <0369 >ayin > light <0216 >owr >.

 24 I beheld <7200 ra>ah > the mountains <2022 har >, and, lo

<2009

hinneh >, they trembled <7493 ra<ash >, and all <3605 kol > the

hills <1389 gib<ah > moved <7043 qalal > lightly <7043 qalal >.

 25 I beheld <7200 ra>ah >, and, lo <2009 hinneh >, [there was]

no

<0369 >ayin > man <0120 >adam >, and all <3605 kol > the birds

<5775

<owph > of the heavens <8064 shamayim > were fled <5074 nadad >.

 26 I beheld <7200 ra>ah >, and, lo <2009 hinneh >, the fruitful

<3759 karmel > place [was] a wilderness <4057 midbar >, and all

<3605 kol > the cities <5892 <iyr > thereof were broken <5422

nathats > down <5422 nathats > at the presence <6440 paniym > of

the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and] by his fierce <2740 charown > anger

<0639 >aph >.

 27 For thus <3541 koh > hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559

desolate

<8077 sh@mamah >; yet will I not make <6213 <asah > a full end

<3615

 28 For this <2063 zo>th > shall the earth <0776 >erets > mourn

black

<6937 qadar >: because I have spoken <1696 dabar > [it], I have

purposed <2161 zamam > [it], and will not repent <5162 nacham >,

neither <3808 lo> > will I turn <7725 shuwb > back <7725 shuwb >

from it.

 29 The whole <3605 kol > city <5892 <iyr > shall flee <1272

barach

bowmen; they shall go <0935 bow> > into thickets <5645 <ab >, and

climb <5927 <alah > up upon the rocks <3710 keph >: every <3605

 30 And [when] thou [art] spoiled <7703 shadad >, what <4100 mah

wilt thou do <6213 <asah >? Though <3588 kiy > thou clothest

<3847

labash > thyself with crimson <8144 shaniy >, though <3588 kiy >

thou deckest <5710 <adah > thee with ornaments <5716 <adiy > of

gold

<2091 zahab >, though <3588 kiy > thou rentest <7167 qara< > thy

shalt thou make thyself fair <3302 yaphah >; [thy] lovers <5689

<agab > will despise <3988 ma>ac > thee, they will seek <1245

baqash

 31 For I have heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > as of a

woman in travail <2470 chalah >, [and] the anguish <6869 tsarah

of her that bringeth <1069 bakar > forth her first <1069 bakar >

child, the voice <6963 qowl > of the daughter <1323 bath > of

Zion

<6726 Tsiyown >, [that] bewaileth <3306 yaphach > herself, [that]

spreadeth <6566 paras > her hands <3709 kaph >, [saying], Woe

wearied <5888 <ayeph > because of murderers <2026 harag >.

Jeremiah 5

 1. Run <7751 shuwt > ye to and fro <7751 shuwt > through the

streets <2351 chuwts > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >, and see

<7200 ra>ah > now <4994 na> >, and know <3045 yada< >, and seek

<1245 baqash > in the broad <7339 r@chob > places thereof, if

<0518

there be [any] that executeth <6213 <asah > judgment <4941

will pardon <5545 calach > it.

 2 And though <0518 >im > they say <0559 >amar >, The LORD <3068

Y@hovah > liveth <2416 chay >; surely <0403 >aken > they swear

<7650

shaba< > falsely <8267 sheqer >.

 3 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [are] not thine eyes <5869 <ayin >

upon

the truth <0530 >emuwnah >? thou hast stricken <5221 nakah >

them,

but they have not grieved <2342 chuwl >; thou hast consumed <3615

<3947

laqach > correction <4148 muwcar >: they have made their faces

<6440

have

refused <3985 ma>en > to return <7725 shuwb >.

 4 Therefore I said <0559 >amar >, Surely <0389 >ak > these <1992

they know <3045 yada< > not the way <1870 derek > of the LORD

 5 I will get <3212 yalak > me unto the great <1419 gadowl > men,

and will speak <1696 dabar > unto them; for they have known <3045

yada< > the way <1870 derek > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, [and]

the

judgment <4941 mishpat > of their God <0430 >elohiym >: but these

<1992 hem > have altogether <3162 yachad > broken <7665 shabar >

the

yoke <5923 <ol >, [and] burst <5423 nathaq > the bonds <4147

 6 Wherefore a lion <0738 >ariy > out of the forest <3293 ya<ar >

shall slay <5221 nakah > them, [and] a wolf <2061 z@>eb > of the

evenings <6160 <arabah > shall spoil <7703 shadad > them, a

leopard

<5246 namer > shall watch <8245 shaqad > over <5921 <al > their

cities <5892 <iyr >: every one that goeth <3318 yatsa> > out

thence

<2007 hennah > shall be torn <2963 taraph > in pieces: because

<3588

[and] their backslidings <4878 m@shuwbah > are increased <6105

<atsam >.

 7 How <0335 >ay > shall I pardon <5545 calach > thee for this

<2063

and sworn <7650 shaba< > by [them that are] no <3808 lo> > gods

<0430 >elohiym >: when I had fed them to the full <7646 saba< >,

they then committed <5003 na>aph > adultery <5003 na>aph >, and

assembled <1413 gadad > themselves by troops in the harlots <2181

 8 They were [as] fed <2109 zuwn > horses <5483 cuwc > in the

 9 Shall I not visit <6485 paqad > for these <0428 >el-leh >

 10. Go <5927 <alah > ye up upon her walls <8284 sharah >, and

destroy <7843 shachath >; but make <6213 <asah > not a full end

<3615 kalah >: take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > her

battlements

<5189 n@tiyshah >; for they [are] not the LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah >.

 11 For the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > and

the

house <1004 bayith > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > have dealt very

treacherously <0898 bagad > against me, saith <5002 n@>um > the

LORD

<3068 Y@hovah >.

 12 They have belied <3584 kachash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,

and

said <0559 >amar >, [It is] not he; neither <3808 lo> > shall

evil

 13 And the prophets <5030 nabiy> > shall become <1961 hayah >

wind

<3541 koh > shall it be done <6213 <asah > unto them.

 14 Wherefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >

the

Because <3282 ya<an > ye speak <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh >

 16 Their quiver <0827 >ashpah > [is] as an open <6605 pathach >

 18 Nevertheless <1571 gam > in those <1992 hem > days <3117

 20. Declare <5046 nagad > this <2063 zo>th > in the house <1004

these <0428 >el-leh > [things], and your sins <2403 chatta>ah >

withholden <4513 mana< > good <2896 towb > [things] from you.

 26 For among my people <5971 <am > are found <4672 matsa> >

Stand <5975 <amad > ye in the ways <1870 derek >, and see <7200

But they said <0559 >amar >, We will not walk <3212 yalak >

 17 Also I set <6965 quwm > watchmen <6822 tsaphah > over <5921

 20 To what <4100 mah > purpose cometh <0935 bow> > there to me
